TYPE and EDIT Functions

ADD adds one or more lines into a file after the current line. The syntax is

Add n 

where:

n

Is any number of lines you are adding.

For example, the following screen shows how to add five lines after the current line (the current line, in this case, is the TOP OF FILE line):

 FOCEXEC(EXAMPLE)                      SIZE=0     LINE=0

===== * * * TOP OF FILE * * *
===== * * * END OF FILE * * *






====> ADD 5
                                          EDITING MODE

After pressing the Enter key, five lines are added:

 FOCEXEC(EXAMPLE)                      SIZE=5     LINE=0

===== * * * TOP OF FILE * * *
=====
=====
=====
=====
=====
===== * * * END OF FILE * * *




====>
                                            EDITING MODE

The prefix area command =An== means to add n lines to the file starting with the line in which the command is issued (where n can be any number up to 9999). The cursor is positioned to the first new line. =In== is identical to ==An=. If n is omitted, the default is line 1.

To add a single line, position the cursor and press PF2. The new line appears immediately below.

Inserts a line after the cursor.

INPUT enters the INPUT environment.

Enter the colon at the command line, using the following syntax

:n

where:

n

Is the number of the line you want to make the current line.

Enter a number with a plus sign to move the current line forward or a minus sign to move the current line backward n number of lines.

Enter the slash in the prefix area of the line you want to be the current line. Then, press Enter.

If you want the current line to be displayed on the top, middle, or bottom of the screen, use the following syntax

CUrline n 

where:

n

Is the number of the line on the screen where the current line will be displayed. To return the current line to the top of the screen omit n.

For example, if you issued the command CURLINE 5, the screen would look like this:

 FOCEXEC(EXAMPLE)                      SIZE=5     LINE=0






===== * * * TOP OF FILE * * *
===== THIS SCREEN SHOWS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU USE THE
===== CURLINE COMMAND. NOTICE THE FIRST LINE OF THE SCREEN
===== IS ON THE FIFTH PHYSICAL LINE OF THE SCREEN.

REplace
Overlay
Input

REPLACE completely replaces the text on the current line with a string of character(s) you specify. The syntax is

REplace string 

where:

string

Is the text you want to place on the current line.

The OVERLAY command is used to overlay a string of text located on the current line. When you use it, the characters in the new string will be placed on the current line. The new string will only overlay its own length. Unlike the REPLACE command, OVERLAY will not replace the entire text on the current line. The syntax is

Overlay string

where:

string

Is the string of text that you want to place on the current line without removing existing text.

Note: Only non-blank characters in the string will overlay.

For example:

 FOCEXEC(EXAMPLE)                      SIZE=5     LINE=0

===== * * * TOP OF FILE * * *
==/== THIS WILL BE CHANGED TO THE NEXT LINE BUT NOT THIS PART
===== THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE OVERLAY COMMAND
=====
=====
=====
===== * * * END OF FILE * * *





====>  OVERLAY THIS WILL BE CHANGED TO THE LINE ABOVE

                                                  EDITING MODE

After pressing the Enter key, the following screen appears:

 FOCEXEC(EXAMPLE)                      SIZE=5     LINE=1

===== THIS WILL BE CHANGED TO THE LINE ABOVEBUT NOT THIS PART
===== THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE OVERLAY COMMAND
=====

=====
===== * * * END OF FILE * * *



====>
                                                  EDITING MODE

The INPUT command allows you to input a string of characters after the current line. The syntax is

Input string 

where:

string

Is the text you want placed after the current line.

To delete a line, type the letter D in the prefix area of the line to be removed, and press the Enter key.

You can also use the syntax

==Dn=

where:

n

Is the number (up to four digits) of lines to be deleted beginning with the line where the command is issued.

To delete a block of lines, enter the letters DD in the prefix area in the first and last lines of the block to be deleted. For example:

 FOCEXEC(EXAMPLE)                      SIZE=5     LINE=0

===== * * * TOP OF FILE * * *
==DD= THIS LINE WILL BE DELETED, ALONG WITH THE FOLLOWING
===== TWO LINES
==DD= THIS ONE TOO.
=====
=====
===== * * * END OF FILE * * *




====>
                                              EDITING MODE

After you use the DD prefix area command, the previous screen looks like this:

 FOCEXEC(EXAMPLE)                      SIZE=2     LINE=0

===== * * * TOP OF FILE * * *
=====
=====
===== * * * END OF FILE * * *




====>
                                               EDITING MODE

To delete lines beginning with the line after the current line, use the DELETE command in one of the following forms

DELete n

where:

n

Is the number of lines to be deleted.

or

DELete /text

where:

text

All of the lines from the current line to the line with "text" are deleted. "Text" must be preceded by a delimiter, which can be any special character (not alphabetical or numeric) that does not appear in the string itself. In this case, the slash is the delimiter.

To delete a line that is not the current line, type CD on the command line, position the cursor at the desired line, and press Enter.

Suppose that after making a deletion, you wish to recover the deleted text. Use the RECOVER command, followed by the number of lines to be recovered. The syntax is

RECover n

where:

n

Is the number of lines to be recovered. Instead of a number, you can use an asterisk (*) to recover all the lines. If n is omitted, it defaults to 1.

Note:

• You can only recover the last block of text deleted during your current TED session. After you terminate the session, the text is no longer recoverable.
• The last recovered line becomes the current line.

The following screens illustrate the RECOVER command:

 FOCEXEC(EXAMPLE)                      SIZE=4     LINE=0

===== * * * TOP OF FILE * * *
===== THIS SCREEN WILL SHOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU USE THE
===== RECOVER COMMAND. THE THIRD LINE WILL BE DELETED.
==D== THIS IS THE THIRD LINE.
===== THEN IT WILL BE RETURNED BACK AT THE CURRENT LINE.
===== * * * END OF FILE * * *


====>
                                              EDITING MODE

After you press the Enter key (and the line is deleted), you can issue the RECOVER command. After you issue this command, the screen appears with the recovered line immediately after the current line.

 FOCEXEC(EXAMPLE)                      SIZE=4     LINE=0

===== * * * TOP OF FILE * * *
===== THIS IS THE THIRD LINE.
===== THIS SCREEN WILL SHOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU USE THE
===== RECOVER COMMAND. THE THIRD LINE WILL BE DELETED.
===== THEN IT WILL BE RETURNED BACK AT THE CURRENT LINE.
===== * * * END OF FILE * * *



====>
                                              EDITING MODE

The BACKWARD command scrolls the screen toward the beginning of the file. The syntax is

BAckward n

where:

n

Is the number of screen pages.

The FORWARD command scrolls the screen toward the end of the file. The syntax is

FOrward n

where:

n

Is the number of screen pages.

Another way to move backward and forward in a file is using the following control keys:

To scroll directly to the top of a file, enter:

Top

To scroll to the bottom of a file, enter:

Bottom

Suppose that you want to move the file up or down a few lines instead of a whole screen. With the DOWN command, you can specify how many lines you want to scroll down. The syntax is

DOWN n

where:

n

Is the number of lines you want to scroll down.

The NEXT command is identical to DOWN.

With the UP command, you can specify how many lines you want to scroll up. The syntax is

UP n

where:

n

Is the number of lines you want to move up.

To scroll to a specific line, enter a colon command at the command line, using the following syntax

:n

where:

n

Is the number of the line to which you want to scroll.

Enter a number preceded by a plus sign to scroll forward or a number preceded by minus sign to scroll backward n number of lines.

Locate 
Change

The LOCATE command searches the file beginning at the current line for a character string you specify. If the character string is located, the line containing the string becomes the current line. The syntax is

Locate/string/

where:

string

Is the string you wish to locate. The string must have delimiters. You can use a slash (/) or any special character (non-alphanumeric) that does not appear in the string itself. Note that the word LOCATE is optional. You can start with /.

If the string that you seek is behind the current line (toward the top of the file), you can specify a backward search by typing a minus sign (-) in front of the string. For example:

LOCATE -/GOOD/

To locate more than one occurrence of a string, attach an ampersand (&) to LOCATE (the & command is explained in Displaying or Repeating the Previous Command). For example:

&LOCATE/string/

Each time you press the Enter key, the next string occurrence located appears as the current line.

To change a string of characters at the current line or throughout a file, you can use the CHANGE command. The full syntax of this command is

Change/oldstring/newstring/ n m

where:

oldstring

Is the sequence of characters that you wish to change.

newstring

Is the new character string.

n

Is the number of lines from the current line that you want to scan and change. You can use an asterisk (*) to indicate all lines in a file from the current line.

m

Is the number of changes on each line. You can use an asterisk (*) to indicate all occurrences in each line.

newstring and oldstring must have delimiters. You can use any special character (no alphabetics or numerics) that does not appear in the string itself.

For example:

 FOCEXEC(EXAMPLE)                      SIZE=6     LINE=0

===== * * * TOP OF FILE * * *
===== THIS SCREEN SHOWS HOW TO CHANGE A STRING OF CHARACTERS.
===== THIS SCREEN ALSO SHOWS HOW TO USE THE CHANGE COMMAND.
===== NOTICE HOW THE FIRST TWO LINES BEGIN WITH 'THIS SCREEN.'
===== NOTICE HOW EVERYTHING WILL CHANGE FROM THE CURRENT LINE
===== TO THE END OF FILE.
===== THIS SCREEN SHOWS HOW TO CHANGE A STRING OF CHARACTERS.
===== * * * END OF FILE * * *


====> CHANGE/THIS SCREEN/THIS EXAMPLE/* *
                                                  EDITING MODE

After you press the Enter key, each occurrence of THIS SCREEN changes to THIS EXAMPLE. When you use the CHANGE command, TED displays the number of occurrences changed, as shown below.

 FOCEXEC(EXAMPLE)                      SIZE=6     LINE=0

===== * * * TOP OF FILE * * *
===== THIS EXAMPLE SHOWS HOW TO CHANGE A STRING OF CHARACTERS.
===== THIS EXAMPLE ALSO SHOWS HOW TO USE THE CHANGE COMMAND.

                                                  EDITING MODE

Note that the last line changed has become the current line.

To copy text lines in a file, use the COPY command with the following syntax

COpy n m

where:

n

Is the number of lines to copy beginning with the current line.

m

Indicates where you want the copied lines placed, as the number of lines away from the current line (relative line position).

For example, if the current line is line 5 and you entered

CO 3 10

three lines (starting with the current line) would be copied and placed immediately after line 15 (line 5 + 10 lines = line 15).

To duplicate a line in EDIT mode, enter the letter C in the prefix area. You must then indicate where the copied line will be inserted. Enter either the letter F (following) or P (preceding) in the prefix area of another line. You can also place a number after C to indicate the number of lines you want copied.

To copy a block of text consisting of more than one line, enter the letters CC in the prefix area of the first and last lines of the block to be copied. Enter either the letter F (following) or P (preceding) in the prefix area of another line depending on where you want the duplicated line(s) to appear. For example:

 FOCEXEC(EXAMPLE)                      SIZE=4     LINE=0

===== * * * TOP OF FILE * * *
==CC= THIS EXAMPLE SHOWS HOW TO COPY A BLOCK OF TEXT.

Note: F or P may not lie within the block to be copied.

If you place the prefix area command =" "== at the top line and bottom line of a block of text and press Enter, the block is duplicated immediately after its present position.

To duplicate a line, enter a double quotation mark followed by the number of times you want the line duplicated. To duplicate a block of text, enter an additional double quotation mark in the prefix area of the last line of the block. If a number (n) is omitted, one line is duplicated. Text appears in lines following the current line.

To duplicate text from the current line to a specified line, use the following syntax

DUplicat n m

where:

n

Is the number of duplications.

m

Indicates how many lines are included in the duplication.

To move one or more lines of text, use the MOVE command with the following syntax

MOve n m

where:

n

Is the number of lines you want moved, starting with the current line.

m

Indicates how many lines down from the current line (relative line position) you want the moved lines placed.

To move a line, enter the letter M in the prefix area. Then indicate where the moved line will be inserted. Enter either the letter F (following) or P (preceding) in the prefix area of another line depending on where you want the line(s) to be placed. You can also place a number next to M, indicating the number of lines you want moved.

To move a block of text, enter the letters MM in the prefix area of the first and last lines of the block to be moved. Then indicate where the moved lines will be inserted. Enter either the letter F (following) or P (preceding) in the prefix area of another line depending on where you want the line(s) to be placed. Note that F or P may not lie within the block to be moved.

To join two consecutive lines, enter the letter J in the prefix area of the line that will be joined. Then position the cursor on the spot where you want the join to take place and press the Enter key.

 FOCEXEC(EXAMPLE)                      SIZE=4     LINE=0

To join two consecutive lines from the command line, type the Join command, position the cursor at the place where you want the join to take place, and press the Enter key.

To split a line, enter the letters SP in the prefix area, place the cursor where the text is to be split into a separate line, and press the Enter key.

You can also use the SPLIT command to split a line after the cursor position and create a new line. Type the command at the command line, position the cursor where the text is to be split, and press the Enter key.

SPH
SPLITH
SPV
SPLITV
TEd

Each file remains on the screen until you enter a FILE or QUIT command. You can use any TED facility in each window. To move the cursor from one window (that is, file) to another, use the cursor control keys.

To split the screen horizontally and call a new file or an existing one, use the following syntax

SPH [filename]
SPLITH [filename]

where:

filename

Is the name of the file you want displayed horizontally. If you omit the file name, another copy of the current file is displayed.

The command SPLITH is identical to SPH. For example, if you enter SPLITH with no file name, the existing file is repeated in a second, horizontal, window of the screen, as shown below:

 FOCEXEC(EXAMPLE)                      SIZE=4     LINE=0

===== * * * TOP OF FILE * * *
===== THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF SPLIT SCREEN IN TED.

To split the screen vertically and call a new or existing file, use the following syntax

SPV [filename]
SPLITV [filename]

where:

filename

Is the name of the file you want displayed vertically. If you omit the file name, another copy of the current file is displayed.

The command SPLITV is identical to SPV.

To edit another file without using the split screen facility, use the following syntax on z/OS:

TED ddname(member)

To edit another file without using the split screen facility, use the following syntax on distributed systems:

TED filename.ext

where:

ddname

Is the DDNAME allocated to the data set that contains the member to be edited on z/OS.

member

Is the name of the new member to be edited or created. Entering TED without the file name proceeds to the next file in the current window on z/OS.

filename.ext

Is the file name and extension of the file to be edited or created on distributed systems.

To temporarily store a copy of a line, or block of lines for subsequent insertion in the same or another file, enter the letters PP in the first and last lines to be transferred. The lines remain in the source file.

You can also use the command PUT using the following syntax

PUT [n] [filename]

where:

n

Is the number of lines to pick up starting from the current line. The default is 1.

filename

Is the ddname(membername) of the file where you want to store the lines of text on z/OS. On distributed systems, it is a file name (name.ext). If you omit the file name, it defaults to a temporary storage area. You can retrieve the lines using the GET or ==G== command.

For example:

 FOCEXEC(EXAMPLE)                      SIZE=4     LINE=0

===== * * * TOP OF FILE * * *
==PP= THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF COPYING TEXT FROM ONE FILE

If the file name already exists, and you want to overwrite the existing file, use the command:

PPUT

To insert n lines of text into a temporary file, use the PL prefix-area command. When no n is specified, it defaults to 1. The line remains in the source file.

To temporarily store a block of lines and delete them from the source file, enter the letters PD in the prefix area of the first and last lines of the block of text. The command PUTD n has the same effect as ==PD=. It has the following syntax

PUTD n [filename]

where:

n

Is the number of lines to pick up and delete (from the source file) beginning with the current line.

filename

Is the ddname(member name) of the file where you want to store the lines of text on z/OS. On distributed systems, it is a file name (name.ext). If you omit the file name, it defaults to a temporary storage area. You can retrieve the lines using the GET or ==G== command.

If the file name already exists, and you want to overwrite the existing file, use the command:

PPUTD

To recall lines from the default temporary storage file, enter the letter "G" in the prefix area of the line preceding the point of insertion. For example:

 FOCEXEC(EXAMPLE2)                     SIZE=2     LINE=0

===== * * * TOP OF FILE * * *
===== THIS IS A NEW FILE IN WHICH COPIED TEXT FROM ANOTHER

You can also use the command GET with the following syntax

Get [filename]

where:

filename

Is the ddname(membername) of the file that contains the text on z/OS. On distributed systems, it is a file name (name.ext). If you omit the file name, TED searches for text in the temporary storage area used by PUT.

Note: When transferring lines between files using temporary storage, do not leave the TED environment. Rather, follow this procedure:

1. Place the lines in temporary storage using one of the PUT or PUTD commands described above.
2. Enter the target file, using the TED command as described in Editing Multiple Files.
3. Retrieve the lines from temporary storage using the GET command.

You can repeat the last command entered by typing the equal sign at the command line or pressing the PF5 key.

To display the previous command, enter ? at the command line, or press the PF6 key.

If you wish to repeat a command, precede it with & on the command line and press Enter again.

To move one full screen view (80 columns) to the right, enter

RIght

at the command line. You can also follow this command with a number. This will move that number of columns to the right.

To move 30 columns to the right, press the PF11 key, or use the following syntax:

RIGHTP

To move one full screen (80 columns) to the left, enter

LEft [n]

at the command line. You can also follow this command with a number. This will move the screen that number of columns to the left.

To move 30 columns to the left, press the PF10 key, or use the following syntax:

LEFTP

CAse M 
CAse U
UPPercas
LOwercas

To have uppercase and lowercase characters enter

CAse M

at the command line.

Note: You must issue this command before entering the text because the default is uppercase.

To get only uppercase characters enter:

CAse U

Note that although characters may be typed in lowercase, they will be converted to uppercase when you press the Enter key.

The UPPERCAS command sets the text to uppercase from the current line to a target line. The syntax is

UPPercas n 

where:

There are times when you wish to store a file under a name other than the original name. To do so, see the TED command FILE. If the new file name already exists, you will be informed and asked to use either FFILE or SSAVE to overwrite the existing file.
